Cut Strand Triangle Loom Weaving

Weaving on a triangle loom is fun, creative, easy and quick. There is no elaborate planning and measuring process. Triloom weaving is an efficient way to use yarn, so you can use your stash yarn or more expensive designer, or hand-spun yarns. Triangle looms are great for weaving plaid patterns and elegant lace patterns. Using your stash yarns, learn how to weave a triangle scarf using one yarn strand at a time, using the basket weave. Unlike continuous strand weaving where you weave one continuous yarn and the pattern is balanced on each side, Cut Strand weaving is a different method. The technique of weaving over and under is the same, however you use one stand of yarn for each row. This is a great way to use up your leftover yarn. You can mix and match your yarns for a colorful, incredibly unique triangle scarf. There still is no elaborate planning or warping yarns. You weave as you go. Basic continuous weaving experience is helpful, but not necessary.

What to bring: If you have your own loom please bring it and email me to know how many precut strands you will need for your loom. If the loom is 3 foot then follow directions below about cutting strands. • Precut yarns to 48 inches each. You can introduce accent yarns (mohair, fuzzy, lace, or cotton sock weight yarns) or have 2 coordinating colors. Cut 208 strands. Please do not tangle them. Can drape over a hanger or other object to easily pull yarn one at a time to weave. (For example you can hang 104 color on one hanger and 108 on another hanger). • Please bring a crochet or weaving hook- preferably 5.25 mm/6-inch size or larger and one small one to crochet at edges., scissors , a Hair Pic and a blunt needle (like used in darning) • Wear comfortable shoes (you will initially be standing as you weave and then later sitting). • Bring a lunch, drink, and snack.
